Fri 9/20/13 Noon & 7PM Vermont historian Paul Gillies has just written “Uncommon Law, Ancient Roads and Other Ruminations on Vermont Legal History.” The book traces many of Vermont’s current laws and legal philosophies back to the people and events in the 19th Century.
He joins us to discuss how some of the state’s environmental laws originated with the treatment of grist mills and how some of our consumer protection laws are linked to laws pertaining to the sale of horses.
Also on the program, Sue Minter, deputy secretary of the Agency of Transportation , has been in Colorado to consult with officials there as they try to recover from the recent flooding there. She updates us on how Colorado is faring and what advice she has offered to workers there.
